It’s shocking how bad the Brisket is here. I realize this isn’t Texas BBQ and I should lower my standards. (I’m not from Texas I swear!)
I’ve lived in Co Springs for 5 years. Bird Dog is down the street from my house. Today’s the third time I’ve tried it – I wanted to give them a third shot, as it’s been about 2 years since I’ve been and I thought – it just can’t consistently be THIS BAD every time. But it is.
First off – I really want to support local businesses and I gotta give them two stars instead of 1 because they’re super friendly and have a military discount.
But WHO SERVES BRISKET LIKE PULLED PORK?! In the 50+ BBQ Restaurants I’ve been to, never have I ever seen Brisket served like this. They don’t ask if you want Lean/Fatty (flat vs point). They just give you a small pile of dried out pot roast looking meat. I need to wash my mouth out with Arby’s across the parking lot to get the bad, dry taste out. There’s no bark. The menu should say “Disappointment by the pound.”
If there were 10 BBQ places in Co Springs, this still shouldn’t make the top 10. Somehow they claim it’s voted the “Best BBQ in Co Springs…” But I can’t imagine at what. Maybe they have the ribs down? I haven’t tried them.
The spicy sausage Is pretty decent – I’d give it 3 stars. But it’s TEN DOLLARS for one sausage link.
Sorry guys, I tried…and tried…and tried again.
If the owners are reading this, please feel free to contact me directly and I’ll show you how to cook a better brisket on my $400 pellet smoker.

From the moment we walked in, the staff at Bird Dog Restaurant went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their warmth and attentiveness set the tone for a fantastic meal. We both ordered the half chicken, which was tender, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly flavorful. My side of potato salad was creamy and tangy, and the fried okra—made fresh on the spot—was hands-down some of the best I’ve ever had. My husband’s meal came with sausage, beans, and macaroni, all of which were equally delicious. Each bite was a testament to the care and skill that goes into the cooking here.
If you’re looking for hearty, comforting food served with genuine hospitality, Bird Dog Restaurant is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu!
Thank you for a great dinner!

Strictly personal opinion.
They say their BBQ is Oklahoma style, its really TX style, smoked without dry rub or any sauce and then served with the sauce on the side. Not my preference for BBQ, but its not bad. The turkey, spicy sausage and Mac & cheese are all really good.

UPDATE: Original review below. Went back yesterday for lunch. Staff was friendly and efficient as usual. Food was prepared much better (as it had been in the past). What is the issue with the ventilation?! Restaurant ended up filling up with smoke again. Once again came out smelling like a camp fire with clothes being permeated with the smell. Not great going back to work smelling like I just came back from a camp trip. Aside from the inconvenience of having to shower, launder clothes and have a jacket cleaned, is this not a health and safety issue? For the decade or so I’ve been going to this place (different days, different times) I never experienced that… Now it appears that should be the expectation?
Original post:
I’ll start by saying the staff is great. Always has been. We’ve been going there for many years. The past few times the rest of the experience, not so great. Definitely an issue with the ventilation system. Visibility smokey in the restaurant. The bigger issue is food consistency. When you’re paying that much for a sandwich it better be great. The past few visits, the brisket on the sandwiches has been barely pulled/shredded, leaving large chunks of meat to try to tear through. Make the extra effort and do it right.

I had never been to Bird Dog before. My mom lives near this location, and wanted some tender, fall off the bone ribs. With her in hospice, and her dexterity not being very good, it is harder for her to eat foods where you need your hands. The gentleman who served me was willing to remove the meat from the bones for her to be able to eat easier.
The service, and the food were above and beyond. Everyone there was exceptional, the food is delicious… I don’t have the words to describe how heartwarming it is when, in a time where life is so difficult for so many people, such consideration and great service remind me that there are plenty of reasons to smile, even in times like these. And having delicious barbecued meats and great food definitely helps too! 🙂
Thanks for making my day, you all made my experience awesome! Expect to see me again, that is guaranteed! ^-^

A great place for BBQ! I personally enjoy the porkhouse sandwich but everything I have tried has been delicious. The BBQ sauce has a mix of sweet and smoky flavors and the meat is tender and juicy. Definitely a place to visit again!
Update: we have come back several times now and the food is as good as always! This has become a favorite spot to visit when we are in town. It even gets a thumbs up from all my kids- not an easy feat.

Delicious barbecue and the inside was much larger than it appears on the outside. We’ve been walking past this place multiple times and it always smelled so good. We finally decided to stop in for a lunch.
I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with Mac n cheese and my husband ordered the dog house and Mac and cheese. They were both delicious sandwiches, the Mac and cheese was super cheesy and creamy, and their barbecue sauces are just delicious, especially the wasabi mixed one. My only critique is my plate looked half empty and like a cafeteria appeal. I know I ordered the “basic” plate but having 3 spots in the plate makes me think it’s missing something. My husbands plate on the other hand looked way more appetizing and full.
Overall though, great service, atmosphere, and food. I recommend Bird Dog!

Just had Bird Dog for the first time. Food was GREAT workers friendly and helpful. Had the smokehouse sandwich & fries. Need to go back to try other meals and sides, if they’re as good as the smokehouse, I found a new place for lunch and dinner at times during the month! Definitely worth the drive from Yoder, Colo. Will definitely be going back!!!!

This was my second visit. It was just as good as the first. Very tender ribs and brisket is delicious and sausages also. Sides are also great. The service was great. Try the apple cobbler delicious.I would recommend this place.

I use to enjoy ordering from Bird Dog in person, but my most recent Door Dash order from the restaurant was incredibly disappointing. I had told family that they were great, so I definitely regret my decision. The baked potato was hard and not cooked all the way. The meals we ordered with brisket were actually pork, and the 1/2 lb. pork we ordered, they didn’t include. There was no bbq sauce included…at all. The corn on the cob was soft and mushy. I called the store and when I mentioned the mistake on not including the pulled pork, they were not very understanding and appeared to not care at all. We won’t be ordering again.
